The soup & sandwich spread was pretty good too... wonderful cream of broccoli. It's a nice, nice place. I think if you planned to have something there, it's pretty unlikely you'd be disappointed.

They felt like our great friends snapping away at our most precious of moments; not only were they kind and professional, but extremely efficient. In our opinion, what made them so great, is that they took the time to spend a lot of time discussing our needs in detail. They also paid close attention to what we liked and didn't like. Steve and Tiffany never wasted one minute of our time and our pictures are gorgeous. We couldn't be happier with their camaraderie, sense of family, and delicate care of our wedding day. This husband/wife duo knows exactly what to do to capture your day. Trust us, and trust them.

When it was finally my turn to get married (I'm the youngest), there was no doubt in my mind who I wanted to be there to capture our big day. They know exactly what they're doing and what to capture so you get perfect pictures. They also work with you so you get exactly what you want too. The Warmowski's are the perfect duo to have on your wedding day to make it as stress free as possible. I can't thank them enough for being there for us through it all. They're family!

My wife and I stayed at the Riverbank Lodge for Thanksgiving weekend for a couple's get-away. I'd…read moreheard about it from a co-worker and he gave it very high remarks. We arrived the day before Thanksgiving after a surprise snow storm hit the area. It was a long, nail-biting drive once we got off of I-55 (there is no direct way to get to Petersburg), but with a little persistence and a lot of white-knuckling, we made it. The lodge was built as a bank until it was bought and converted to the lodge in 2006. It's got a very rustic, outdoorsy feel inside, and they had just started decorating for Christmas. The guest rooms (there are 24) vary in size and accommodation, and we opted for the corner room with the in-room Jacuzzi tub. We had a great view of the Sangamon River...and I'm sure it's gorgeous in all of its summer greenery and fall colors. For a while there was a Bald Eagle soaring in the sky above the river. (I was too interested in the Eagle to get my camera and take a photo.) There is a lounge on the premises that has a fairly decent selection of beverages and bar-type food that you can order (and, yes, Schlitz....which I hadn't had in, quite literally, decades). The prices are actually very reasonable, and although the lounge is rather small, it's got a very comfortable feel to it. The lobby is spacious, and the ceiling spans up two stories. The décor is outdoorsy and is populated with reclining chairs, sofas, and tables for lounging around playing cards, reminiscing with friends and family, having a drink as you relax in this awesome getaway. All of the staff that we encountered were very friendly. Any questions we had about the area were knowledgeably answered, and there is a small gift area where you can buy some logo apparel. We had a great time at the River Bank Lodge and hope to return for a visit when there's more green and less cold in the area.

Three adults shared a cake of soap the size of a half dollar, no shampoo! Took three trips up to the front desk to get the key card to work. It's a great looking lodge, but no clue we registered for a basement windowless room . Room was freezing during the day, but uncomfortably warm all night with no way to adjust. Staff was nice, but had very little knowledge of the town . Weird overnight experience. Breakfast was prepackaged doughnuts, muffins , bagels, cereal, the worst coffee ever. Food from a quick stop!

They always answer our questions, make recommendations, and seem genuinely eager to help make sure your party is as successful as it can be. They deliver, set up your items, and break them down. In our experience, they have always been on time and very professional. They also have a huge selection of party items, boardwalk games, food machines, tents, chairs, and every other party need you could want. I would definitely recommend them to my friends for party rentals.

DO NOT BOOK A ROOM HERE!…read more This was the most disgusting, bug infested, smelly, dirty motel we have ever seen. We asked to move to a different room because it was so dirty and bug infested and we were able to move to a different room that was also very dirty and had a foot long cob web in the corner filled with bugs. I asked if we could just cancel the reservation and was told NO REFUND - GET OUT! The gentleman behind the counter was so rude. I wish I would have taken pictures as the ones on the website do not look like the rooms they offer. ABSOLUTELY DISCGUSTING PLACE!

I was initially against the idea of the photo booth and video guestbook because I wasn't sure if they would match the vibe we were going for but I'm happy to admit I was wrong... both were a great way to relive the night and they couldn't have been more helpful as our day of coordinators. From helping build the itinerary, to organizing the ceremony, and even helping with music a bit; they took so much off our plate and really allowed us to enjoy our day! Cannot thank/recommend them enough.

What caught my eye and was pretty shocking to see was that Every single one of the Reviews gave it 5 STARS. Being a mom I am quite finicky, meticulous and somewhat critical, I hate to admit, but in seeing such great reviews I'd decided to give Shuster Photography a try. Well let me just say this..... From the get-go, working with Dmitry was Beyond MY Expectations. He is a wonderful person who has been blessed with a great gift. The images were captivating with unique contrasts and perspective. ***** PROFESSIONAL ***** AMAZING QUALITY PHOTOS ***** GENUINE- Patient, Caring, Family-oriented, Fun and with a bright personality ***** AFFORDABLE Dmitry is very understanding and considerate. He knew that I'd needed the photos as soon as possible because I had missed the deadline for the submission to my son's high school. Therefore, knowing the urgency, the photoshoot was done in the morning and the photos were Available online on the Same day. I was flabbergasted!! So YES! With absolute certainty, I definitely give Dmitry 5 STARS. I'd give him 100 Stars if I could! I am one pleased and content mom. Thank you Dmitry! ******* HIGHLY RECOMMENDED *******
